Gregory, I really enjoyed the article. Thank you for posting
it. One question I have, I was considering lightly sandblasting the core
of my rad to get off the layers of black paint. This because I assume
whatever thermoplastic is in the paint is a poorer conductor of heat than
the metal it covers. I see race cars with bare metal raiators, and I
assume that they're doing this for cooling efficiency. Please reply.
Thanks again for posting the article.
